His whole last album was one giant leeching exercise.

Also this article gives a better idea of what the deal entails

US rap giant Jay-Z has joined forces with British hip-hop star Tinchy Stryder to launch a music company to break new talent.

Takeover Roc Nation is a joint venture between Jay-Z's firm Roc Nation and Stryder's management company Takeover.

It will handle the stars' merchandise and tours as well as signing new acts.

Stryder said: "Jay-Z is my music and business inspiration and to go into business with him is a dream come true."

Writing on his blog, he said: "It's taken nearly a year to get the deal right so I'm excited to start signing artists to the label side of the joint venture deal."

Stryder also asked for demos from budding stars. The MC has two UK number one singles to his name and also runs his own clothing label, Star in the Hood.

He will continue to release his own music through Island Records in the UK, while Jay-Z currently has a UK record deal with Atlantic.

So who do you think he should sign?

Tinchy runs Takeover? Never knew that... Oh wait...

Jay-Z stays getting cheques and attaching his names to movements he doesnt actually help. "Props to the boy Shawn"

Behave, Jay was my favourite rapper, but come on.

He raped Kanye West, and now his new ting is to just keep man around to soak the energy and ideas. You know Jay about to start recording when he id spotted with Kanye, Drake and Jeezy around... Jay would have been a ill pedo, bait my gets in the whip or backstage at a show, gets that beat cd lined up and say "yo you man take it back lets see if you can cipher on this sh*t"

[Michel Kane]

LOL

That's a different ting though, I thought he meant leech as in, financially leech.

Tinchy doesnt even run Takeover, thats Jack Foster and Archie Lamb

[Mr. Martinez]

Hopefuly this ends up being somethign he doesn't regret.

Of course he wouldn't be the first to REALLY REALLY regret going into b-ness with Jay.

[Guest Triple XXX]

[Taurus]

Very good look, happy for him.

Lol @ certain man talking like they're gonna pay his bills, smh

Whether you like it or not a person has to move on to bigger things if he wants to make that p and support himself and his family.

[Young £]

this has nothing to do with tinchy i swear lol

[streets.]

THIS DEAL IS RUBBISH BECAUSE HE WON'T RELEASE ANY GRIME MUSIC ON THE LABEL.

WHY CAN'T WE GO BACK TO THE GOOD OLD DAYS OF 2003

I HATE COMMERCIAL SUCCESS, AND I'LL NEVER SELL MY SOUL LIKE THIS.

why do you do this? no one begrudges people like Tinchy commercial success, it doesn't mean we have to like the stuff they make for that success.

im guessing he does it because he too wants a piece of that success pie and he thinks by being seen to champion that cause publicly it will get him free trips as <insert sellout grime artist> personal assistant or some other such recognition

amirite amirite?
